This code was first created at the University of Southampton in 2016. The authors of this code published an investigation into how material properties of the transport layers affect perovskite solar cell performance in Energy & Environmental Science, while working at the Universities of Southampton, Bath and Portsmouth. visualising the effects of halide ion migration on the internal electrical state of a PSC.simulating photo-current or photo-voltage transients to investigate the effects of halide ion migration.simulating current-voltage curves, with the ability to change key material properties in order to investigate trends in performance and the extent of hysteresis.This code is intended for use by researchers in the field of perovskite solar cells. Please read the GUIDE to get started.įor details of changes to the code since the first release, see the Changelog on the IonMonger Wiki. The code also outputs the current density and voltage which can be used to plot the current-voltage characteristics of a PSC, including current-voltage hysteresis due to the movement of halide ion vacancies. A variety of experimental protocols can be simulated, including changes in the applied voltage and/or illumination intensity that occur over timescales on the order of microseconds to minutes. The model variables are the electric potential, halide ion vacancies (existing only within the perovskite layer), electrons (within the ETL and perovskite layers) and holes (within the perovskite and HTL). The three core layers of a PSC, namely the electron transport layer, perovskite absorber layer and hole transport layer, are modelled explicitly in one spatial dimension. This code can be used to simulate the internal state of a PSC over time. A drift-diffusion model for ion migration and charge carrier transport across a planar perovskite solar cell (PSC).
